Abstract (in English)

This paper outlines a possible framework for integrating the conservation of the built heritage urban site into the local sustainable economic management and development policy, which constitutes an integral part of the conservation program, where the local authority and community constitute strategic partners throughout the entire process. This interface program is based on urban-strategic planning and local economic development processes and includes: analyzing the conservation factors in the local context, identifying the various stakeholders and interests, predicting possible conflicts, building consensus between the community, organizations and local government, performing economic analysis of the conservation and studying the legal tools needed to manage and maintain the conservation process, both in the short and long-term timeframes.
